We had a pre-wedding brunch before much alcohol and this fitted the bill exactly. Friendly service plus generous portions. We had puteens and excellent light fluffy pancakes plus milkshakes.For the first time for many years I had a strawberry milk shake which was delicious and...very filling.More

Clean and spacious diner with adequate patio and very friendly staff. It was obvious they’re short staffed and we waited a long time for food. The breakfast was not especially tasty except for the tater tots! The coffee was fresh and hot Clean restrooms and...free parking behind the restaurantMore

Amazing breakfast, fun atmosphere, friendly staff and the tater tots are to die for!! I had the Eggs Benny with smoked salmon and it was incredibly delicious! Most breakfast dishes come with their tater tots - seasoned to perfection, they are a must try with...your breakfast.More

Date of visit: August 3, 2021 During road trip through Prince Edward county, we stopped for a quick bit of Lunch at the Vic Drive In. This restaurant has all the trappings of the retro style drive in. Classic burgers, totss and shakes (and similar...menu items). They have a lovely covered outdoor seating area which is perfect in the summer, and especially during covid. You place your order when you enter and they deliver to your patio table. The food is good - typical diner food. Plus some additional flavour options that elevate the menu items. The cost is reasonable - but possibly a bit higher than expected. The food is good - although I am nota huge fan of tater tots. I know some people enjoy them. but perhaps fries would be a good addition.More

Really good food and fun atmosphere of an old-time diner. Their signature tater tots were a hit with all of us. The hot dogs were very good even without the buns!

The terrace is spacious enough...and the service was ok and the food is ok not great but a cool place to try ! I think the tatertots are the big seller here and thats what everyone orders as a side .

Lots of staff and owner very diligent. Good selection on breakfast menu. Patio had an issue with wasps but they moved us inside and he went immediately to Home Hardware to buy a spray as 4 traps were couldn't handle the amount. We had everything...from the Daddy breakfast to children's pancake and it was cooked to order, fast service and I'd go back.More

I don’t know how you can screw up breakfast but apparently you can. I run a food blog and have been to many places for breakfast and have to say this is the worst. We ordered the bacon and eggs and avocado toast. Not sure...how you screw up bacon and eggs but it had no flavour. The avocado toast was basically a garlic avocado spread. Absolutely horrible. The pancakes tasted like a mixture of sour cream and Philadelphia cream cheese. Again not sure how you can screw up eggs and pancakes. The coffee was absolutely watered down and piping hot as if it had been reheated over and over again. You have to pre-pay for the food before you see it and some people even tip before as there is a tip jar at the cash register at the front. Food comes out in take out containers and there is absolutely no one checking on you after the food is dropped off at your table. Horrible food and not so great service. Don’t even wanna go back to try out the lunch or dinner. Don’t waste your time going to this establishment and for those that gave five star reviews I’m not sure where else you’re eating.More

Cute spot with a vintage vibe (loved the pink bathroom fixtures). the food was amazing and the patio is super fun to sit and people watch. Our server was great. Two words - breakfast poutine!
